Citizen Kang

Citizen Kang was a serialized, online political novella about progressive Congresswoman Cynthia Kang from Monterey Park that unfolded in real time parallel to our quixotic political arena circa 2007-08 on thenation.com website. The serial included reverberations from our then ongoing presidential campaigns. Writing CK was an update to an old model as writers such as Charles Dickens and Mark Twain wrote in the installment form in newspapers and magazines a century or so ago. Congresswoman Kang dealt with her personal and political fortunes, while murder and chicanery abounded.
